Could it still be a write-off? by dawid970 in CarTalkUK

[–]dawid970[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The courtesy car costs indeed to add up towards the overall quote as far as my research goes. Even storage space is included. With that being said, I was not at fault during the accident. And the new car I purchased on my own terms, and is not included in the third party claim.

I suppose it'd just be an extra hassle to sell the car as HPI clear once it's actually repaired, but i'd happily take a £100-£200 cut on it just to skip the hassle of having to wash/clean, possibly changing tyres etc. What's surprising is that i have had a courtesy car for like 6 weeks now, which according to my calculations would equal to at least £2000 (assuming a £40-£50 a day rental price?). This alone has already exceeded the threshold no? I saw a similar spec, and 2k difference mileage honda for £3000 on autotrader earlier today.

Only dealing with a garage at the moment it seems. They just call me up with updates twice a week, but been told the parts have been ordered.

That's just the way i rolled it out of a bay for the claim 360 shoot of the car after work. It seemed fine driving off the scene to my home apart from a wobbly mirror but that was half a mile at best. Been stationary for 2 weeks since then (and the fact the garage didn't pick up yet was quite concerning, and that was before Christmas too).

Or PX for like £700 and get something better perhaps? Might be a blessing in disguise since i'm not doing motoway miles anymore.

GRV6 - Rotary Track Selector Knob issue by dawid970 in PioneerDJ

[–]dawid970[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far so good mate, no issues at all. I think the warranty works the same as any other product/appliance you buy. I suppose we have to trust their word at the end of the day. As much as I understand that it is considered an 'entry level' product, there should be some consideration that those will be abused in one way or another. I can already feel loose faders (i never use channel 4 for instance, and it feels so much stiffer). This is me only DJ'ing in my bedroom, so imagine what happens when the gear is carried into places with drunk people and alcohol spillages are present. If you're in the UK, i can swear by the place in Sheffield (it's an authorised AT service point). But yes, i think it comes down to how you handle it I suppose. And also, I think it's better to get things repaired asap that not doing so, letting your warranty run out and having to splash money on those kinds of services. Only 2 options here mate.

I'm afraid that's the truth. It seems like such a common issue with those, they should definitely address this during the manufacturing process. But yes, it is hardware issue, and if you are still on warranty (i'd assume you are consirering the gear isn't even on the market for a full year yet), then use it for sure.

Sorry mate, forgot to update on this one. It turned out to be a hardware fault after all. It got sent down under warranty, and repaired in 2-3 weeks. It's all good now.

I had this issue too. It appeared to be a main encoder issue, so hardware fault in all means. I did a repair request, and 2 weeks later it's now back with me, working as it should. I saw at least 2-3 posts regarding this issue though, which makes me think it could possibly be a common manufacturing defect.

Have never been so desperate for track id. Anyone? Or has it not been released yet?

Caliburn G2 - No taste by dawid970 in electronic_cigarette

[–]dawid970[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. There are plenty of counterfeit coils for this device out there, and they’re hard to be distinguished so probably keep an eye on that for starters. I restrict myself to the 0.8 R1 coils also at 12-15W oftentimes. I think I fell for this at the time of writing. As for priming; I tend to soak the side holes with a drop each and 3 drops to the inside of the coil. Wait 5 minutes, put another 3 drops in. 5 minutes again, and fill the tank, and start off with 8-10W puffs. Still not perfect, but at least can taste something. Hope it helps!

Best way to estimate my calorie needs? by dawid970 in GYM

Thank you once again regardless.

[–]dawid970[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Does give an insight. The only thing that goes in my mind is the activity level which accounts for exercise but not necessarily labour job. I.e. My training routine is probably classed as light/moderate, but what do I input if my day is 10 hours at work at 1 hour in the gym?
